Sylvester Keely Of Landenburg COM
mitted suicide in James Cooper's woods,
New Garden township, on the Sd inst.
He had been in melancholy frame OF
mind for some time and had previously
made attempts to take his life. On the
morning of the day he accomplished the
deed, he was at the house of Alexander
Dunlap and tried there to hang himself
in the barn, but was prevented lie then
took rope and went across the fields to
the woods, took rail from the fence,
placed it in the branches of a small tree,
tied the rope to it and placing moose
around his neck mounted a stump and
jumped off, the fall breaking his neck and
causing instant death. The demented
man had applied to Joel Pussy, Director
of the Poor, for admission to the county
almshouse, but possessing over $1,000
worth of property he was not allowed to
enter that refuge for the weary. Keely
was spoke maker, an employee of
Strahorn & Pierson, Toughkenamon, and
when he went to the woods from Dunlaps
said he would go out to look for hickory
trees An inquest was held by Deputy
Coroner John Brown.
